Rugs for Sale


Going home from the capital, while the car was slowly speeding down in a remote town, I saw this hand made sign outside a house that says, “Rugs for sale”. I was like, those carpets better be nice or the sign just won’t do at all. So I assumed they were contemptible right but hey, it’s not like they’re selling kashan or momeni rugs or gabbah or just any custom rugs at all! The products may just be some hand made rugs that says “welcome” when you enter a house or some cleaning rugs for the car, I guess. Even if they were not, the owner should have thought of putting his business in some relatively civilized place not in the middle of nowhere where the travelers would rather save a stop over in a gas station that a meager house on the road. Besides, there are rugs for sale in almost any house specialty stores in the mall and I’m telling you, cheap rugs don’t even have their places there.

See most people don’t necessary go for typical rugs. They prefer carpets or in some cases, large rugs in ornamenting their house especially if the flooring isn’t all that nice. Even if there are Mark Todd or Tibetan rugs in their place, chances are these floor decors may just be at the study because there are probably more appealing features of the house to flaunt about. No it’s not all about being boastful or being show-off. Its kind of more of a necessity thing. For my part, even if the rugs for sale there flash at the nearest public screen, I wouldn’t really give a thought about it. So maybe just for a few seconds but later I’ll go back into wondering what dinner for tonight is. It’s more important than internalizing on the discount cheap rugs blaring at the television.

Prices may go down for these products even those tabriz or couristan rugs that are suppose to come from some exotic country. The designs maybe good and all the artsy praises anyone can think about. But at the end of the day, you realize that these things may just be luxuries like that thin version of a figurine of Gautama Buddha you bought last week to be put on display by the centerpiece. You regretted buying it a few days later because your 6 year old daughter keeps on taking it because she thought it would be a perfect match for her Barbie. Those rugs for sale you’re thinking of taking a look at may just be another liability at your expense especially when your pet starts fancying it for its daily dirt emission. They could be cheap but that’s still money. You don’t pick them on trees. Only a privileged few gets that kind of opportunity.

Not to be all optimistic about this, you may want to check those rugs for sale at the mall sometime. There are floor shags that could be useful like maybe bathroom rugs. You can take a trip at the cheap rugs area but only when its necessary. So basically that’s all

Even if I sound really weird about making a hoot about all of these, it’s not like I get to decide for you. It’s your place, its your life and you don’t want me interfering even with your choice of what to put in your house or whatnots. Just if you can’t really help it, go for quality cheap rugs light on the pocket. Who knows, maybe there’s something more about that rugs for sale sign on the shop window.
